Joining forces: engaging men as allies in gender-sensitive peacebuilding

In this dialogue, participants discussed the concept and practicalities of engaging men as gender-sensitive male allies in the peacemaking process. In thinking about overcoming violence and building peaceful communities, working with men and concepts of masculinity can help to challenge destructive, violent mindsets and institutions. This dialogue was co-hosted by the International Fellowship of Reconciliation's Women Peacemakers Program (IFOR/WPP). The featured resource practitioners that led this dialogue included people that have been directly involved in the WPP training of trainers program, the organizations that work with WPP and others that are interested in sharing their experience and ideas on this topic.
